Mop Top Liverpool analog pre-amp

The Tech 21 SansAmp Character Plus Mop Top Liverpool is a 100% analog pre-amp pedal that combines a Vox-style amplifier emulation with a Rangemaster Booster-style effect. Its Character control sweeps through a full spectrum of British Invasion tones, from clean chime to Bohemian rock crunch. The SansAmp and effects sections operate independently, allowing the pre-amp or the boost to be used separately with other gear. A built-in speaker simulation and three-band active EQ are tailored to the specific cabinet voicing.

Stand-alone pre-amp for PA or power amp

This unit replaces a traditional amplifier head when driving a power amp, studio mixer, or PA system directly from the stage or studio. The jump is worth it when a guitarist needs authentic vintage British tones without the weight, maintenance, or volume of a tube amp and cabinet. The independent boost section also replaces a standalone treble booster pedal, reducing pedalboard clutter. It is not for players who require high-gain modern metal voicings or digital modelling with preset storage and MIDI control.

Check signal chain and power needs

Before ordering, verify that your rig can accommodate a pedal-format pre-amp at the end of your effects chain or in an amplifier effects loop. Confirm you have a standard 9 V DC centre-negative power supply available, as the included unit requires mains power. Ensure your mixer, audio interface, or power amp accepts a balanced XLR line-level signal or an unbalanced 1/4" output for the speaker-simulated feed.
